Contents

The objective of this Open File is to publish geochemical analyses and associated QA-QC data for 321 samples retrieved from 8 boreholes drilled near Brantford-Woodstock, located northeast of London, Ontario. Data was collected using a portable X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer. The pXRF data are described using single element trends from the base to the top of the boreholes. Results are presented numerically in Appendix A and graphically in Appendix B.
